Flames Of Paradise
Elton John · Other Songs - Elton John
You´re walkin´, talkin´ like a flame,baby
Never knew what my heart would be facing
Guess I must have been blind
Sayin´ goodbye to you baby
You baby to baby you baby
Close my eyes at night
I can taste it
I´m right back in the fire
Where once had you baby you baby
I said that´s something I won´t Do
I want you back in my arms
In the flames of paradise
I want you back in my arms
In the flames of paradise
The flames of paradise
I give up all of my love just to you
It´s been so long baby
I give you all, my love is waiting for you
Don´t take to long baby
I´ve been makin´ some brave conversation
Telling friends I´m way better off
Without you baby, you baby who baby you baby
And I was living in my imagination
Thinking I could make it
Without you too baby ooh baby
My heart tried to deceive me
But that´s one thing it just can´t do
I want you back in my arms
In the flames of paradise
I want you back in my arms
In the flames of paradise
The flames of paradise
I give up all of my love just to you
It´s been so long baby
I give you all, my love is waiting for you
Don´t take to long baby
Ooh...
Ooh...
You said don´t ever leave me
Oh thats one thing
I won´t ever do
I won´t ever do
I want you back in my arms
In the flames of paradise
I want you back in my arms
In the flames of paradise
The flames of paradise
I give up all of my love just to you
It´s been so long baby
I give you all, my love is waiting for you
Don´t take to long baby
I want you back in my arms
In the flames of paradise
I want you back in my arms
In the flames of paradise
The flames of paradise
I want you back in my arms
In the flames of paradise
I want you back in my arms
In the flames of paradise
The flames of paradise
Flames Of Paradise
Elton John's "Flames Of Paradise" stands as a poignant example of his late-career songwriting, blending his signature piano-driven pop sensibility with a more introspective, orchestral texture. Recorded during the period of his greatest commercial success, the track exemplifies the lush production and emotional depth that characterized his work in the 1990s. While often associated with his broader discography of romantic ballads, this specific recording highlights a shift toward more complex arrangements and deeper lyrical themes, showcasing his ability to craft enduring melodies that resonate across generations. The song remains a staple of his live performances, demonstrating his enduring connection with audiences and his mastery of the piano as a central instrument in his musical identity.
